DREW BIRD
Drew’s lifelong passion for individual and organizational improvement has seen him move from the server room, to the boardroom and everywhere in between. After 15 years working in the IT field, Drew realized that his real passion was helping people to better understand both themselves, and others around them. Drew learned early on that awareness and competencies in areas such as emotional intelligence, adaptability, hardiness, resilience, and risk influence and guide a persons thought and action. By developing effective, empathetic and considerate learning and development opportunities, Drew helps people to find the very best versions of themselves and bring that to everything they do.

Rachel’s official title is Operations Manager, but she is more commonly referred to as the Director of GSD…that’s getting stuff done.
